Also n my observation the AI US generally doesn't put up much of a fight in the Pacific v Japan,
Possibly due to confusion and balancing in the Atlantic convoy war and countering subs popping up.
The AI at sea is weak and does need help.
Even with USA AI
Turns 4, 8,12,16,20,24,28,32 AI purchases 3x Fighter, 1x Carrier-Fleet, 1x Cruiser and places in 010 B Sea Zone
and
Turn 2-40, USA AI, purchases 2x Destroyer and places in 010 B Sea Zone
It does not play well, but it does give an OK game for Japan. Maybe it needs more help to be more of a challenge?
